The time for war has come and gone- Governor Joho embraces Uhuru Raila talks

By Wambui Mbuthia | 6yrs ago

Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Deputy party leader Hassan Joho who is also Mombasa County Governor on Saturday, March 10 commended party leader Raila Odinga after his meeting with President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday at Harambee House.

The meeting between President Uhuru and Raila Odinga is the first since the elections bug caught the country, with both claiming to win the August 8, 2017, elections leading to the swearing-in for both. President Uhuru took oath on November 28, 2017, as the President of the Republic of Kenya while Raila took oath as the People’s President on January 30, 2018.

Unlike other leaders from National Super Alliance (NASA) Coalition who say the meeting was held behind their backs, Joho expressed his support for saying there is a time for war and a time for peace. In a press statement on Saturday, March 10, Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi reported they were neither aware, consulted nor invited to the meeting.
